The first bump 290 may be between the first pad 180 and the second pad 270. The first bump 290 may have various shapes, e.g., a pillar structure, a ball structure, or a solder layer.

The first bump 290 may electrically connect the first pad 180 and the second pad 270. In an implementation, the first stack 100 and the second stack 200 may be electrically connected. In an implementation, the first semiconductor device layer 120 may be electrically connected to the second semiconductor device layer 220 or the second TSV 250 through the first TSV 150, the first pad 180, the first bump 290, and the second pad 270.

The first redundancy pad 185 may be on the second surface 100U of the first stack 100. The first redundancy pad 185 may be spaced apart from the first pad 180 (e.g., in the first direction X). In an implementation, the first redundancy pad 185 may not be in contact with the plurality of first TSVs 150. In an implementation, the first protective layer 130 may completely cover a bottom (e.g., first stack 100-facing) surface of the first redundancy pad 185.

The first redundancy pad 185 may include, e.g., Al, Cu, Ni, W, Pt, Au, and combinations thereof. In an implementation, the first redundancy pad 185 may be at the same level as the first pad 180. The term “the same level” as used herein means being formed by the same manufacturing process (e.g., formed at the same time with the same material(s)).

The first redundancy pad 185 may be electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of first pads 180. In an implementation, the first pad 180 and the first redundancy pad 185 may be electrically connected by a first interconnection line 160. The first interconnection line 160 may extend along the second surface 100U of the first stack 100 (e.g., in the first direction X). In an implementation, the first interconnection line 160 may extend along the top surface of the first protective layer 130 to electrically connect the first pad 180 and the first redundancy pad 185. In an implementation, the first interconnection line 160 may be a redistribution layer (RDL) on the second surface 100U of the first stack 100.

In an implementation, the first redundancy pad 185 may be on the edge area EA. The first redundancy pad 185 on the edge area EA may be electrically connected to the first pad 180 on the edge area EA. In an implementation, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the first pad 180 and the first redundancy pad 185 may be arranged to be adjacent to each other in (e.g., aligned along) the first direction X on the edge area EA. The first interconnection line 160 may extend (e.g., lengthwise) in the first direction X on the edge area EA to connect the first pad 180 and the first redundancy pad 185.

In an implementation, a width W2 of the first redundancy pad 185 (e.g., in the first direction X) may be in a range of about 15 μm to about 30 μm. In an implementation, the width W2 of the first redundancy pad 185 may be identical to a width W1 of the first pad 180. The term “identical to” as used herein includes a meaning of a slight difference that may occur due to the margin or the like on the process, as well as being completely identical to.

In an implementation, a distance D2 at which the first pad 180 and the first redundancy pad 185 are spaced apart from each other may be in a range of about 3 μm to about 8 μm. Maintaining the distance D2 at which the first pad 180 and the first redundancy pad 185 are spaced apart from each other at about 3 μm or greater may help ensure that the first redundancy pad 185 is not too close to the first TSV 150, thereby avoiding a non-wetting failure of the bump, which will be described below. Maintaining the distance D2 at which the first pad 180 and the first redundancy pad 185 are spaced apart from each other at about 8 μm or less may help prevent an electrical connection failure between the first pad 180 and the first redundancy pad 185.

In an implementation, the first interconnection line 160 may be lower or shorter than the first pad 180 and the second pad 270 (e.g., as measured in the third direction Z). In an implementation, as illustrated in FIG. 3, a height H1 of the first pad 180 and a height H2 of the first redundancy pad 185 may be greater than a height H3 of the first interconnection line 160, on the basis of or as measured from the second surface 100U of the first stack 100 in the third direction Z.

In an implementation, the height H2 of the first redundancy pad 185 may be identical to the height H1 of the first pad 180.

In an implementation, the first interconnection line 160 may be in contact (e.g., direct contact) with a side surface of the first pad 180 and a side surface of the first redundancy pad 185.

The second redundancy pad 275 may be on the third surface 200L of the second stack 200. The second redundancy pad 275 may include, e.g., Al, Cu, Ni, W, Pt, Au, or combinations thereof. In an implementation, the second redundancy pad 275 may be at the same level as the second pad 270.

The second redundancy pad 275 may be electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of second pads 270. In an implementation, the second pad 270 and the second redundancy pad 275 may be electrically connected by the second semiconductor device layer 220. In an implementation, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the second pad 270 and the second redundancy pad 275 may be electrically connected by the first lines 224 a, 224 b, and 224 c of the second semiconductor device layer 220.

In an implementation, the second pad 270 and the second redundancy pad 275 may be electrically connected by a lowermost line 224 c of the first lines 224 a, 224 b, and 224 c. The lowermost line 224 c of the second semiconductor device layer 220 may be a line closest to the third surface 200L of the second stack 200 among the first lines 224 a, 224 b, and 224 c (e.g., along the third direction Z). The second pad 270 and the second redundancy pad 275 may each be connected to the lowermost line 224 c of the second semiconductor device layer 220 to be electrically connected to each other. In an implementation, a trench exposing the lowermost line 224 c may be in the first inter-line insulating film 222. The second pad 270 and the second redundancy pad 275 may fill the trench.

In an implementation, a height H5 of the second redundancy pad 275 may be identical to the height H2 of the second pad 270 (e.g., as measured in the third direction Z).

The first redundancy bump 195 may be between the first redundancy pad 185 and the second redundancy pad 275. The first redundancy bump 195 may have various shapes, e.g., a pillar structure, a ball structure, or a solder layer. In an implementation, the first redundancy bump 195 may be at the same level as the first bump 290.

The first redundancy bump 195 may electrically connect the first redundancy pad 185 and the second redundancy pad 275. In an implementation, the first stack 100 and the second stack 200 may be electrically connected to each other. In an implementation, the first semiconductor device layer 120 may be electrically connected to the second semiconductor device layer 220 or the second TSV 250 through the first TSV 150, the first pad 180, the first interconnection line 160, the first redundancy pad 185, the first redundancy bump 195, the second redundancy pad 275, and the first lines 224 a, 224 b, and 224 c.

In an implementation, the first redundancy bump 195 may be spaced apart from the first bump 290 (e.g., in the first direction X). In an implementation, the first bump 290 and the first redundancy bump 195 may not be in contact with each other.

In a semiconductor chip (e.g., the first stack 100 or the second stack 200) in which a TSV (e.g., the first TSV 150) is formed and a multi-chip semiconductor package in which a plurality of the semiconductor chips are stacked, pads (e.g., the first pad 180 and the second pad 270) and a bump (e.g., the first bump 290) that are connected to the TSV may interconnect the semiconductor chips. In a process of forming the bump on the pad, the TSV could function as a heat transfer path, which could cause a bump failure. For example, the bump could be formed through a thermal compression bonding process to interconnect the pads of the semiconductor chips. The pad in contact with the TSV may have a low temperature in the thermal compression bonding process to cause a non-wetting failure of the bump. Such a failure could be more severe in an edge area of the semiconductor chip.

The semiconductor package according to some embodiments may help prevent the failure by including the first redundancy pad 185 and the first redundancy bump 195. In an implementation, the first redundancy pad 185 may be not in contact (e.g., direct contact) with the first TSV 150, and a non-wetting failure of the first redundancy bump 195 due to the first TSV 150 may be prevented. In an implementation, the first redundancy pad 185 may be electrically connected to the first pad 180 in contact with the first TSV 150, and even if a non-wetting failure were to occur in the first bump 290 on the first pad 180, the electrical connection between the first redundancy pad 185 and the first TSV 150 may be maintained. Accordingly, a semiconductor package having improved product reliability may be provided, e.g., by preventing the failure of the first bump 290.

In the semiconductor package according to some embodiments, the first redundancy pad 185 may be electrically connected to the first pad 180 on the edge area EA. In an implementation, a semiconductor package having improved product reliability may be provided by preventing the failure of the first bump 290 in the edge area EA.

In an implementation, a third stack 300 may be on the second stack 200. The third stack 300 may include a fifth surface 300L and a sixth surface 300U that are opposite to each other. The fifth surface 300L of the third stack 300 may face the fourth surface 200U of the second stack 200. In an implementation, the fifth surface 300L may be a bottom surface of the third stack 300, and the sixth surface 300U may be a top surface of the third stack 300.

In an implementation, the third stack 300 may include a third semiconductor substrate 310 and a third semiconductor device layer 320. The third semiconductor substrate 310 may be similar to the first semiconductor substrate 110 or the second semiconductor substrate 210 described above, and the third semiconductor device layer 320 may be similar to the first semiconductor device layer 120 or the second semiconductor device layer 220 described above, and thus, in the following description, repeated detailed descriptions thereof may be omitted.

In an implementation, the stacked first stack 100, second stack 200, and third stack 300 may constitute a multi-chip semiconductor package such as a high-bandwidth memory (HBM).

In an implementation, a third pad 280, a fourth pad 370, a second bump 390, a third redundancy pad 285, a fourth redundancy pad 375, a second redundancy bump 295, and a second interconnection line 260 may be between the second stack 200 and the third stack 300. The third pad 280, the fourth pad 370, the second bump 390, the third redundancy pad 285, the fourth redundancy pad 375, the second redundancy bump 295, and the second interconnection line 260 may be similar to the first pad 180, the second pad 270, the first bump 290, the first redundancy pad 185, the second redundancy pad 275, the first redundancy bump 195, and the first interconnection line 160, which are described above, respectively. In an implementation, the first pad 180, the second pad 270, the first bump 290, the first redundancy pad 185, the second redundancy pad 275, the first redundancy bump 195, and the first interconnection line 160, which are described above, may be stacked and repeatedly formed over a plurality of stacked stacks.

In an implementation, a first filler layer 140 may be between the first stack 100 and the second stack 200, and a second filler layer 240 may be between the second stack 200 and the third stack 300. The first filler layer 140 may be filled in a space between the first stack 100 and the second stack 200, and the second filler layer 240 may be filled in a space between the second stack 200 and the third stack 300. The first filler layer 140 may cover the first pad 180, the second pad 270, the first bump 290, the first redundancy pad 185, the second redundancy pad 275, the first redundancy bump 195, and the first interconnection line 160. The second filler layer 240 may cover the third pad 280, the fourth pad 370, the second bump 390, the third redundancy pad 285, the fourth redundancy pad 375, the second redundancy bump 295, and the second interconnection line 260.

The first filler layer 140 and the second filler layer 240 may include, e.g., epoxy resins. In an implementation, each of the first filler layer 140 and the second filler layer 240 may include a filler. The filler may include, e.g., silica. In an implementation, the fillers may each have a size of 0.1 μm to several μm and may have an average size of about 0.3 μm to 1 μm. In an implementation, the first filler layer 140 and the second filler layer 240 may include the filler in an amount of about 55 wt % to 75 wt % with respect to 100 wt % of the first filler layer 140 or the second filler layer 240, respectively.
